Welcome and Goodbye

Send tested, variable-driven arrival and departure messages.

How welcome works

A welcome response combines a destination channel with a builder template. Appear can keep multiple channel responses, substitute member and server variables when someone joins, and disable sending without deleting the saved setup.

Set up a welcome message

  1. 1

    Choose a channel

    Appear needs Send Messages in every welcome destination.

    Command
    ,welcome channel #welcome
  2. 2

    Create the message

    Use the interactive creator or add a builder directly.

    Command
    ,welcome embed create #welcome
  3. 3

    Test before waiting for a join

    The test command renders the saved message immediately, using you by default or another member you provide.

    Command
    ,welcome test
  4. 4

    Review the configuration

    Confirm enabled state, destination, and the raw saved template.

    Command
    ,welcome config

Multiple channels

Use welcome add to attach a builder to another channel. welcome list shows every configured response and welcome remove removes one destination without resetting the others.

Goodbye messages

Goodbye messages use the same channel, builder, test, list, disable, and reset pattern when a member leaves. Configure them separately from welcome responses.
